070818 Angel Wings.
As we sat in the park,
Nature all around us, shoes off, feet on the ground.
I noticed it.
The angel waving from the other side.
Playing with the children.
It’s wings flapping up and down.
Vying for my attention.
Trying to send it’s message.
Look closely and you will see.
So much is sent to try us.
You can get through this.
You are loved.
We sat on the grass,
In shock for what had happened.
Events of the day and before.
Emotions raw and anger creeping in.
And Breathe…
Letting it out.
I tried to remain calm.
The voice of reason in crisis.
We talked, all of us three.
Unintentional but despite the distance,
You’d always join in somehow.
A perfectly placed signal just when it was needed.
Reassurance, holding my hand.
I noticed a single white feather.
Then another and another.
And all around us a circle of them had fallen.
In case we hadn’t noticed.
Surrounding us with love.
Your love will last forever.
No one will take it away.
